Open Call: Here Now — Detroit Current Issue About

Ada Louise Hamilton

Ada Louise Hamilton (b. 2003, California, US) is a ceramicist-slash-sculptor living and working in Chicago, IL. They graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with distinction in 2025. Ada corrals imagery and form from post-gold-rush Americana discards into slight ceramic sculptures. A language of sentimental twee is re-appropriated to reconstruct their narratives about our past-slash-present-slash-future. They are always looking backwards and walking forwards.
